Chapter 155 The Eagle That Completely Quits
Back at the Lin family home, Lin Cai asked Er Shi to go to the woodshed in the back and bring back some dry weeds. Then, she used those weeds to make a warm nest.
She gently placed the gyrfalcon in its nest and warned Big Gray, who had been itching to pounce on it the whole way: "Big Gray, don't you dare eat it."
"You need to keep a close eye on it for me, but you can't bite it. You two need to be good friends and partners, understand?"
Big Grey didn't know if it understood or not, but it let out a howl right after Lin Cai finished speaking.
Then he got a slap on the forehead: "Big Gray, how many times have I told you? You're a dog, not a wolf. Why do you keep howling like a wolf all day long?"
"Remember what I just said, you must not bite Xiaoqing, understand? If you understand, then say so."
As soon as he finished speaking, two loud barks came out of Big Gray's mouth.
Lin Bao, who was grinding tofu in the yard, exclaimed in his heart upon hearing this, "Wow, that's really something!"
He was already shocked when he learned that his younger sister was raising a wolf like a dog, and now he was even more astonished to hear that the wolf his sister raised could bark like a dog.
Although wolves and dogs both have one head, one tail, and four legs, they are fundamentally different!
At least they look different. He really didn't know how Lin Cai could completely mistake a wolf for a dog.
After Lin Cai finished speaking, she went inside to find medicine. The gyrfalcon had completely given up, so there was no need to worry about it escaping.
Moreover, it only has one intact wing now, so even if it wanted to run on two legs, it couldn't outrun four legs!
The owner said not to bite, and Big Gray sat there obediently, and really didn't bite. Even though drool was dripping down its face, it moved its paws but didn't bite.
With its shove, it directly touched the arrowhead on the gyrfalcon's wing, causing the slumped gyrfalcon to shudder in pain.
It pricked up its head and was about to peck at Big Gray, but Big Gray was very prescient. It scratched and hurt the person, and immediately stood up to distance itself from the grass nest.
The gyrfalcon pecked at empty air, making it so angry it wanted to move out of its nest.
But the injured wing was in so much pain that it couldn't help but cry out twice, and the sound was truly pitiful and miserable.
When Scarface returned from outside, he heard the cry of the gyrfalcon. He thought he had misheard, but when he went inside, he saw a grass nest in the yard with an injured gyrfalcon inside.
Upon seeing this, Scarface walked into the yard with the honey in his hand. Lin's mother came out of the house carrying beans and just then saw the honey dripping into Scarface's hand from outside.
It seems that when this person went to get the honey, they didn't use anything to hold it; they just took it down and brought it back, which is why it dripped all the way back.
"Oh dear, what a waste! It's been dripping all the way back, how much honey has been wasted!"
Lin's mother quickly put down the beans, then turned around and went into the house to get a clean basin.
Scarface put the honey in his hand into a basin, then filled it with water and washed all the honey off. He then looked at the injured gyrfalcon.
"Where did this bird come from? Doesn't it need its feathers plucked?"
Lin Bao laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, those are my little sister's pets. You actually want to eat them? Be careful, or my little sister won't cook for you."
"That bird is so fierce, and it can't fly with its wings. Why keep it if you're not going to eat it?"
Lin Cai heard this as she came out of the house with the medicine. She glanced at Scarface standing in the yard.
"Of course we'll keep them to raise, otherwise what's the point?"
What a joke! This is Xiao Qing, how can you eat it?
Even if there's really no meat left to eat, we still can't eat baby bonito!
Lin Cai took the medicine in her hand and came to Xiao Qing. She put the medicine aside and was about to grab its injured wing.
But before she could even touch the wing, the listless Xiao Qing cried out, and the sound was truly pitiful.
Anyone who didn't know better would think Lin Cai was really going to eat an eagle.
"Alright, alright, stop yelling. I'm not going to eat you. I just want to bandage you up. Your wings are injured and won't heal if you don't bandage them."
Lin Cai frowned as she spoke, unsure if Xiao Qing could understand her. After speaking, she reached out her hand again.
The result was the same as before; it started cooing even before it touched the little green dog.
The call didn't sound like the cry of an eagle circling in the air; instead, it sounded more like the clucking of a hen.
Hearing Xiaoqing's cooing sounds, Lin Cai didn't know what was going on, but she knew that Xiaoqing was tense and scared.
She tried her best to be gentle so that Xiaoqing wouldn't be so afraid of her. She slowly reached out her hand, but she didn't touch Xiaoqing's injured wing.
Instead, he gently stroked down the feathers on Xiaoqing's back, one by one, in a very tender manner, which surprised Lin Bao.
In his memory, he had never seen Lin Cai like this before, much less treated anyone or any animal with such gentleness.
Perhaps sensing the gentleness emanating from the human before her, Little Green's voice gradually faded from the grass nest.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the cooing sound you just heard.
Lin Cai also sensed it, and the hand that was on Xiao Qing's back slowly moved to the wings.
While his hands were moving, he was also saying, "Your wings are injured, I'm going to help you remove the arrows from them."
"Only after I remove it can I apply medicine and bandage you, so you can fly again. Otherwise, if it's not treated, you won't be able to fly anymore. Do you want to become a crippled eagle that can't fly?"
Hearing these words, Lin Bao, who was grinding soybeans, could hardly contain himself. When did his little sister become so fun?
It's just an injured animal, how could it possibly understand human speech? Just treat the wound directly, why would a beast understand so much?
Lin Bao thought Lin Cai was wasting his breath. He believed that the gyrfalcon couldn't possibly understand what people were saying. But what he didn't know was that...
After Lin Cai finished speaking, she went to pull out the arrow. Even after Lin Cai trimmed all the feathers around the wound, applied medicine, and bandaged it, Xiao Qing didn't move an inch.
Throughout the process, it was like a soft noodle, letting Lin Cai treat the wounds on its wings at will.
After the wound was bandaged, Lin Cai asked Scarface to go to the haystacks at the back. The haystack needed to be replaced; some blood and fur had fallen off when the wound was being treated, so it couldn't be used for sleeping.
Scarface glanced at the den with a complicated expression, then went to the back without saying anything.
